    Default Eclipse: The import com.ms cannot be resolved.

    I have an old java source code that I am trying to compile in eclipse. Now that I imported the java files into an eclipse project it says an error that The import com.ms cannot be resolved at import com.ms.wfc.data.*;. It seems like it is using very old database management module as written in the connection string:
    public static String strConnPart1 = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password=\"\";User ID=Admin;Data Source=";
    I've been searching for hours I can't find the library. Can somebody help please? Thank you.

    You may have to rewrite the code to use more modern classes.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I was thinking about it, but first I want to be sure if it is working before moving to migrate the whole database connection method, because it will take long time and I won't invest time in something that doesn't work, so... I guess I just need to find that .jar library:
    import com.ms.wfc.data.Field;
    import com.ms.wfc.data.Recordset;
    However I am looking for like a couple of hours and so far I found nothing

    Taking a wild guess here, but I believe this is looking for a Java wrapper for Windows Foundation Classes, which may have only existed in Microsoft's proprietary JVM before the whole antitrust lawsuit thing.

    If that's the case, you may never get the old one working on a modern OS.
